GRILLED CHICKEN BREAST



Grilled Chicken Breast image

The BEST grilled chicken breast and marinade recipe! An easy method for making tender, moist grilled chicken breasts every time. So Juicy!

Provided by Erin Clarke / Well Plated

Categories     Main Course

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 3/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 medium breasts)
1 batch best Chicken Marinade* (see notes)
Chopped fresh herbs (crumbled feta cheese, a squeeze of lemon juice, optional for serving)
Oil (for grilling)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board (leave several inches between them and work in batches as needed). Cover with plastic wrap to keep things tidy, and with a meat mallet, rolling pin, or your fist, pound the chicken to an even thickness. It doesn't need to be ultra thin-just make sure the middle is fairly even with the ends (the chicken should be about 1/2-inch thick).
  • With a fork, poke holes all over the chicken (this will allow the marinade to absorb).
  • In a large ziptop bag, combine the marinade ingredients, then add the chicken.
  • Seal the bag to evenly coat the chicken with the marinade. Place in a pan or bowl to catch any drips. Let the chicken marinate at room temperature for at least 30 minutes, or refrigerate it to marinate for up to 12 hours (5 to 6 hours is ideal). Even 15 minutes is better than nothing!
  • When ready to grill, preheat the grill to high (475 degrees F). If your chicken has been in the refrigerator, remove it and allow it to come to room temperature for at least 10 minutes. Clean and oil the grates.
  • Place the chicken on the grill presentation (smooth) side down, shaking off any excess marinade. Cover the grill and let cook for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, then flip. The chicken should lift easily off the grill; if it sticks, allow it to cook another minute or two.
  • Recover the grill and cook for an additional 4 to 8 minutes. Chicken is considered done at 165 degrees F. I like to remove chicken from the grill around the 155-160 degree F mark and allow it to finish cooking while resting. DO NOT OVERCOOK, or your chicken will be dry.
  • Place the chicken on a plate and let rest for at least 5 minutes (resting is mandatory!). Add any desired toppings or sauces. Enjoy!

MARINATED CHICKEN



Marinated Chicken image

I set out to create the ultimate all-purpose marinade, and after spending many hours in the laboratory, I developed the perfect formula for balanced flavor. Fellow food lovers, I give you S.A.S.H.A. It stands for Salt, Acid, Savory, Heat, and Allium. All you need to do is combine ingredients that represent those flavor elements and you have yourself a fantastic marinade. I love using soy and/or fish sauce as my salty elements because they provide the perfect level of salt and savoriness and pack in the flavor. This marinade is perfect for all proteins: beef, poultry, pork and fish!

Tips:

  • Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the chicken its delicious flavor, so be sure to use a marinade that you enjoy. There are many different marinade recipes available online, so you can find one that suits your taste.
  • Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes: The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavor it will absorb. However, if you don't have time to marinate the chicken for long, even a short marinade is better than none at all.
  • Grill the chicken over medium heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • Cook the chicken until it is cooked through: You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The chicken is cooked through when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Let the chicken rest before serving: This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and juicy.

Conclusion:

Marinated grilled chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as a snack. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give marinated grilled chicken a try.
